GnuCash 2.7.7 Released Pre-release
Pre-release

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.7, the eighth release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0

Notice that we've decided that beginning with the upcoming major release we will use two-digit release numbers and that the next stable release will be 3.0. Maintenance releases will be 3.1, 3.2, etc. The next unstable release will be 3.900 and will lead to 4.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

New Features for Users:

None in this release.

For Developers and Distro packagers:

  • The Python Bindings and Console are now for Python 3.
  • It's now possible to create a GncPrice from the Python bindings with "gnc_price_create(book)", removing the need to clone an existing GncPrice object and modify it.
  • Compilation of GLib Schemas during build and installation can be disabled by setting -DCOMPILE_GSCHEMAS=OFF. This is intended only for distribution packaging scripts that run glib-compile-schemas themselves.

Bugs fixed in this release:

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Fix date corruption in SQL load. Four date elements were affected: GncEntry::date, GncEntry::date_entered, GncInvoice::opened, and GncInvoice::posted. This does not affect the stored values of the dates.
  • Fix lost Bayesian matches in SQL backend. The import-map-bayes uses a three-part key that uses the same delimiter as a path and the SQL backend was throwing away everything except the account guid.
  • More transient-window fixes and other Gtk3 cleanups.
  • Add xmlns namespace declarations to all of the accounts templates that lacked it and remove the emacs mode-setting comments at the end of them.

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

Updated Translations:

GnuCash 2.7.5 Pre-release
Pre-release

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.5, the sixth release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0

Notice that we've decided that beginning with the upcoming major release we will use two-digit release numbers and that the next stable release will be 3.0. Maintenance releases will be 3.1, 3.2, etc. The next unstable release will be 3.900 and will lead to 4.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

New Features for Users

  • Locate all user data and configuration files to platform-dependent standard locations:
    • Windows: CSIDL_APPDATA/GnuCash
    • MacOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/Gnucash
    • Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnucash (or the default $HOME/.config/gnucash)
    GnuCash currently uses the following files in this directory:
    • log.conf (to set what gets logged to gnucash.trace)
    • config-user.scm (to add custom scheme code like custom reports; replaces config.user and config-.user)
    • gtk-3.0.css (For theming)
    On Windows and with the MacOS Gnucash.app we distribute the files will already be in the correct locations; users will need to rename any config*.user files to config-user.scm. On other platforms except MacOS, where those files were previously stored in $HOME/.gnucash, GnuCash will move log.conf (if it exists) and the most recent config*.user, renaming the latter, automatically. MacOS installations other than our Gnucash.app bundle will have their data and configuration files in $HOME/.gnucash but users will have to copy the files to $HOME/Library/Application Support/Gnucash themselves.
  • Further improvements to the Transaction and Income-GST-statement reports
  • Transaction Report: omit display of $0 in subtotals in other currencies. Previously in dual-subtotal columns, the dual-subtotal would attempt to print all commodities in the row. This meant if user chose common-currency thereby triggering additional commodities, the dual-subtotal would attempt to add amounts in other commodities which would be 0, and display the 0 amount.

For Developers and Distro packagers:

  • Some cruft removal in libgnucash/scm plus moving some code to its only use location. "main.scm" is renamed to "utilities.scm".
  • The "printf" family of Scheme custom functions is replaced with the built-in "format" facility.
  • Change a generally unnecessary warning about being unable to open a module (usually because the file is still being created) to a debug message. It appears mostly during highly parallel builds and was distracting.
  • Added dependency information to all CMake targets, replacing a dependency on build order that was carried over from autotools. Highly parallel builds in ninja now complete without interuption.
  • Ensure that all GtkBuilder and GtkUIManager files are correctly installed and that no configuration of build products in those directories are.
  • Appstream configuration is updated to the latest spec.
  • Fix installation of a gnucash-only gschemas.compiled overwriting the system one. Note that if you install to a DESTDIR you'll need to re-run glib-compile-scemas after moving the contents of $DESTDIR$PREFIX/share/glib-2.0/schemas to $PREFIX.
  • Added two functions to the Scheme option API:
    • gnc:option-make-internal! will hide an existing option. e.g. a derived report can set the value for a Display/* option and hide it from the user.
    • gnc:unregister-option will unregister option. This is primarily useful for derived options e.g. another report copies from transaction.scm and removes some options and recreates them with different parameters.
    For example, unregister existing option from section "Accounts" name "Accounts", and recreate with different parameters e.g. limited account types.

Bugs fixed in this release

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • An optimization in the GncDateTime string constructor provides substantial speed up of loading SQL databases, and one in Scheduled Transaction creation will speed up creation of large numbers of scheduled transactions.
  • More dialogs have transient-for set so that they pop up over the window instead of in the upper left-hand corner of the monitor.

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

Updated Translations:

German, Greek, Slovak, Spanish

A new set of business account templates for India's new GST; use locale en_IN to enable them.

GnuCash 2.7.4 released Pre-release
Pre-release

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.4, the fifth release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0

Notice that we've decided that beginning with the upcoming major release we will use two-digit release numbers and that the next stable release will be 3.0. Maintenance releases will be 3.1, 3.2, etc. The next unstable release will be 3.900 and will lead to 4.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

We appologize to translators, this release includes a few string changes: A couple of documentation strings for the Alphavantage API Key preference and some button mnemonic changes which change the msgid by adding an underscore.

New Features for Users

  • A new preference panel for the Alphavantage API key so that Finance::Quote users need not edit /etc/gnucash/environment.
  • On Macs the Reconcile Window's menu moved to the menubar.
  • The detected Finance::Quote version is displayed in the About box.
  • Removed all references to the various Yahoo! quote sources and made Alphavantage the default.

For Developers and Distro packagers:

  • The autotools build system has been removed.
  • Add a "pot" target to the build system so that translators can easily generate a new gnucash.pot from a git repository.
  • Improve handling of generated distributable files
  • Fix make dist on a clean checkout:

    cmake with unix makefiles fails to resolve dist dependencies added from COPY_FROM_BUILD if these dependencies aren't built yet. This commit replaces the COPY_FROM_BUILD based logic with two new functions 'dist_add_configured' and 'dist_add_generated' to indicate which files should be included in the dist tarball. The latter also adds a target level dependency to the dist tarball custom command. Hence the former should be used for files that get generated during a cmake run while the latter should be used for files generated as the result of a 'make/ninja-build' run (like files for which an add_custom_command rule exists). Note: this commit also temporarily disables the dist target when building from a tarball (and hence it won't be tested in distcheck either). This will be handled in a future commit.

  • Add DL_LIBS to gncmod-gnome-utils target. Fixes a build problem in FreeBSD.
  • Detect presence or absence of libxml2 and makeinfo during configuration; abort if the first is missing and don't build the (mostly obsolete) texinfo documentation if the latter is. Document both in README.dependencies.
  • Replaced Timespec with time64 in the Scheme and Python bindings, introducing many new C time64 functions to accomodate the replacement. Timespec will eventually be removed from the C API as well.

Bugs fixed in this release

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • The long-standing known problem, AQBanking setup crashing on Windows.
  • Webkit crashing the MacOS Gnucash.app.
  • Some Guile 2.2 issues are resolved.
  • Some bugs in the new Transaction Report.
  • Correct setting of WebKit version during configuration when the version is cached.
  • The change to the Average Cost calulation introduced in 2.6.12 is reverted. See the extensive discussion in Bug 775368 for more information.
  • Fix our appstream id as per the appstream recommendation
  • Fix incorrect minimum dates in the net-linechart and net-barchart reports.
  • Fix a report crash if the Account Depth is too low.

GnuCash 2.7.3 Release 2017-12-31 Pre-release
Pre-release

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.3, the fourth release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 3.0

Notice that we've decided that beginning with the upcoming major release we will use two-digit release numbers and that the next stable release will be 3.0. Maintenance releases will be 3.1, 3.2, etc. The next unstable release will be 3.900 and will lead to 4.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

With this release we set feature freeze and string freeze. Translators and documentors are implored to begin work so that the localization and documentation will be ready for the 3.0 release.

New Features for Users

  • A greatly enhanced Transaction report with many new options and features including a reconciliation report thanks to Chris Lam.
  • Removed 6-figure rounding from price calculations, allowing prices to have up to 18 digit precision.
  • A flatter storage scheme for Bayes account-matching scores, thanks to Aaron Laws. This is a compatibility change guarded by a feature.
  • GnuCash no longer supports Guile-1.8 and now does support Guile-2.2
  • A CSV Price importer, thanks to Bob Fewell.
  • Enhanced python bindings exposing more GnuCash API thanks to Guy Taylor

Bugs fixed in this release

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Tests now pass in all timezones.
  • More dialogs are made "transient for" so that they pop up centered on the main Gnucash window instead of somewhere on the left edge of the screen.
  • A lot of Gtk3 issues and errors are fixed, thanks to Bob Fewell.
  • Test struct tm* returns from gnc_gmtime and gnc_localtime to ensure that we don't crash for dereffing a nullptr.
  • Removed the gnc:numeric type from Scheme code in favor of Scheme's own rational numbers. This allows direct conversion between Scheme numbers and gnc_numeric without the performance or accuracy penalties arising from using doubles as an intermediary.
  • Pass KVP paths as a collection of elements instead of a delimited string. This allows keys to contain '/'. Thanks to Aaron Laws.
  • Added a frameowrk for migrating preferences.
  • Made separate functions for finding a widget's parent window: gnc_ui_get_gtk_window tries to find the immediate parent and gnc_ui_get_main_window tries to find the widget's parent toplevel, returning the first-mapped window.
  • Make the splash/lock screen the transient parent for dialog boxes if the main window is not yet mapped.
  • Rework directory determination in CMake builds.

    Sets paths for finding componenents depending on the state of ENABLE_BINRELOC, GNC_UNINSTALLED, GNC_BUILDDIR and whether any install paths have been set outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

    GNUInstallDirs changes the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR depending on the operating system and distro. When CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX is /usr, /usr/local, or any subdirectory of /opt it also changes CMAKE_INSTALL_FULL_SYSCONFDIR to /etc. An earlier commit by Aaron Laws mirrors the name of CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR to the build library directory.

    It's possible for builders to set any of the install directories anywhere they please. Setting any directory outside of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX breaks Binreloc so the toplevel CMakeLists.txt now detects that and disables Binreloc. If Binreloc is enabled then all path queries use it to find paths. This works in the build directory because the gnucash executable and all of the test programs are in build_directory/bin and LIBDIR, DATADIR, and SYSCONFDIR can be found in the same root path. If Binreloc is disabled then in order to build or run programs from the build directory one must set GNC_UNINSTALLED and set GNC_BUILDDIR to the absolute path of the build directory. When those are set GNC_BUILDDIR replaces CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in all paths that are subdirectories of CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX; paths that are not in CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX are appended whole to GNC_BUILDDIR. This process is constent between CMake and gnc_path_get_foo. GnuCash is unlikely to run from a DESTDIR without Binreloc.

GnuCash 2.6.19 released

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 2.6.19, the nineteenth maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series.

Changes

Between 2.6.18 and 2.6.19, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • A better way to handle MySQL's 0000-00-00 invalid date indicator.
  • Fix python build and test errors on Mac.
  • Add translator hint comments to C and glade files.
  • Improve type of bank accounts in SKR03
  • Stop testing GObject's handling of invalid parameters

Translation Updates: Dutch, German, Serbian

Important update notification

If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work properly. This user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.

Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.

Documentation

Concurrent with the release of Gnucash 2.6.19 we're pleased to also release a new version 2.6.19 of the companion Help and Tutorial and Concepts Guide.

Announcement: GnuCash 2.7.2 Release—2017-10-29

GnuCash 2.7.2 released

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.2, the third release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.8.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

This release changes file locations, binding APIs, report options, and can make your data file no longer compatible with previous versions. See the Update Notes Page for details.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

Bugs fixed in this release

  • Bug 734865 - Assign as Payment... can silently 'unpay' a payed invoice
    • if the selected transaction is already linked to an existing payment, the payment dialog will present this payment again (same partner, post-to account, same selected document(s), same amount, memo, and transfer account).
    • if the selected transaction is not linked to an existing business transaction the logic will make a best guess as to whether the payment should be for a customer or vendor.
    • in both situations if the existing transaction has multiple splits that can be considered as transfer (or 'payment') splits the payment dialog can't work with it (it can only deal with one transfer split). In this case the user will be informed that only one valid transfer split will be retained and the others ignored.
    • the other thing the payment dialog can't handle are APAR type splits that are not associated to a lot at all. In case of transactions not part of a business transaction they will be silently ignored on the assumptions these were manually entered transactions with the intention to be linked to business transactions. On the other hand if such a split is part of a transaction that is also linked to a business payment already, a warning will be issued these splits will be removed from the new payment.
  • Bug 778692 - Assign as payment should work for employee expense vouchers
    • if gnucash can deduce a partner from the transaction that partner will be proposed this works for all transactions that are part of a business transaction already and will correctly detect pre-existing customer, vendor and employee payments
    • if no partner can be deduced gnucash will assume the transaction to be a vendor or customer payment based on the sign
    • in all cases the user can change the partner type in the payment window that's presented to any of customer, vendor or employee to correct gnucash' suggestion.
  • Bug 784623 - GNUCash does not work with sql backend.

    Wherin the problem is that MySQL's TIMESTAMP has a date range of 1970-01-01 00:00:01 to 2038-01-19 03:14:07 and is unable to handle time_t of 0. MySQL's TIMESTAMP also assumes that input is in the server's timezone and adjusts it to UTC. GnuCash has already done that conversion.

  • Bug 789608 - Compilation problems when linking libraries.
  • Bug 789928 - FTBFS with libdbi 0.9.0-5 on Debian.
  • Bug 790550 - FTBFS: missing __init__.py

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • SQL parameter quoting is corrected in the backend so that only string parameters are quoted. This caused trouble when trying to store SQL NULL; the string 'NULL' is different from the value NULL.
  • SQL table versions weren't set consistently and a bogus version test could cause some tables to be not loaded.
  • Better, more targeted handling of MySQL's penchant for setting date-time fields to "0000-00-00 00:00:00" if it doesn't like the input. This should be much less common thanks to fixing Bug 784623.
  • Major repairs to the "Dense Calendar" date selector.
  • Fix colors on graph reports so that the selections work and the defaults are no longer transparent.
  • Two large batches of styling fixes for Gtk3 from Bob Fewell.
  • Fix the guile-compiled path in the environment file so that GnuCash can start on Windows.
  • Convert the graphical reports to use GnuCash's rational numbers instead of doubles for better accuracy.

KNOWN PROBLEMS:

  • On Microsoft Windows starting the AQBanking Setup Wizard crashes GnuCash.
  • test-import-bayes built with autotools intermittently fails at line 381, where the returned value is 1 instead of the expected 6.

Getting GnuCash for Windows and MacOS X

GnuCash is provided for both Microsoft Windows XP® and later and MacOS X 10.9 (Mavericks)® and later in pre-built, all-in-one packages. An installer is provided for Microsoft Windows® while the MacOS X® package is a disk image containing a drag-and-drop application bundle.

GnuCash 2.7.0 Released

The Gnucash Development Team is pleased to release Gnucash 2.7.0, the first release of an unstable series leading to Gnucash 2.8.0.

This release is UNSTABLE and SHOULD NOT BE USED in production.

See the KNOWN PROBLEMS list at the bottom of the announcement.

Note: Version information in the splash screen and About dialog will now reflect the date of the last commit used to build GnuCash rather than the date it was compiled. This is to assist quality assurance and debugging efforts by Linux distribution maintainers.

For Users

  • The headline item for this release is that GnuCash now uses the Gtk+-3.0 Toolkit and the WebKit2Gtk API. This change was forced on us by some major Linux distributions dropping support for the WebKit1 API. Unfortunately the Webkit project doesn't support Microsoft Windows with the newer API so that platform will continue to use the WebKit1 API, though with Gtk3. We've selected Gtk+-3.14.0 as the minimum version because it fully supports CSS theming. (Geert Janssens, Robert Fewell, and John Ralls)
  • There's a new CSV importer largely rewritten in C++, adding new features including the ability to re-import CSV files exported from GnuCash. (Geert Janssens)
  • Data file directories are now located appropriately to the operating system's conventions by default. It's still possible to overried with the environment variable GNC_DOC_PATH, which replaces GNC_DOT_DIR in earlier versions of GnuCash. (Geert Janssens)
  • Accounts in the Bayes import map are now linked by GUID instead of names so that the matcher won't have to be retrained if you rename an account. This will make your file unreadable by previous versions of gnucash. There's a new editor to remove outdated or incorrect match data from the import maps, a new user interfacs for managing files associated with transactions, an improved facility for removing old prices from the price database, and a way to remove deleted files from the history list in the file menu. (All from Robert Fewell!)
    ^ Numerics are rewritten to allow for more significant digits. The old 6-digit-maximum fraction will be a 9-digit maximum by 2.8. there is still some cleanup required before the limit can actually change. (John Ralls)
  • New Income GST Report and some improvements to the Transaction report. (Christopher Lam)
  • Chart Reports appearance is improved (Carsten Rinke)

For Developers

  • The code is reorganized into a core library directory, libgnucash, and applications-specific directory, gnucash. Code lifted from other projects is in borrowed. (Geert Janssens)
  • Several parts of the engine and the SQL backend are rewritten in C++, an effort that will continue in the next development cycle. KVP is now private to libgncmod-engine. Object properties stored using KVP are generally accessible using g_object_get and g_object_set; there is also a more direct access available via qof_instance_get and qof_instance_set. (John Ralls and Aaron Laws)
  • KVP and GUID are reimplemnted in C++ using boost::variant and boost::UUID respectively (Aaron Laws).
  • The date implementation is migrated to boost::date-time, replacing a Glib GDateTime implementation. This makes the earliest date recordable 1 January 1400CE instead of 1 January 1CE. (John Ralls)
  • Distribution tarballs can now be built with CMake as well as Autotools. (Rob Gowin)
  • The CuteCash front end has been removed. The code we need from GOffice has been brought into the GnuCash code base so GOffice is no longer a dependency.
  • A new Russian translation of the Guide has been started by Dmitriy Mandel. Downloads in the usual formats are available at https://code.gnucash.org/docs/ru/; the HTML is at https://code.gnucash.org/docs/ru/gnucash-guide/.
  • There will be no unstable documentation release at this time. There have been very few relatively minor changes to the master documentation branch; those documents may be viewed in the nightly builds at https://www.gnucash.org/docs.phtml.

GnuCash 2.6.18

The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 2.6.18, the eighteenth maintenance release in the 2.6-stable series.

Changes

Between 2.6.17 and 2.6.18, the following bugfixes were accomplished:

Some other fixes not associated with reported bugs:

  • Added Catalan Accounts for the New Account Assistant
  • Fixed errors from loading init.py.
  • Run the python bindings tests in a CMake build.
  • Implement dist, distcheck, and uninstall targets for CMake build.

Translation Updates: Farsi, German, Japanese, Latvian, Serbian, Spanish

Important update notification

If you are updating from gnucash 2.6.0-2.6.4 on linux, you are advised to remove the guile user cache or several parts of gnucash may fail to work properly. This user cache can be found in .cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/ in your home directory. It's safe to remove the whole contents of this directory.

Note .cache is a hidden folder in your home directory. You may have to change your file manager's settings in order to view hidden files and folders.

Documentation

Concurrent with the release of Gnucash 2.6.18 we're pleased to also release a new version 2.6.18 of the companion Help and Tutorial and Concepts Guide.

  • The Italian Help translation, which uniquely uses a PO file, is frozen at commit 78cfa76 because of lack of a translator to maintain it.
  • Bug 120940 - Document how automatic decimal points work.
  • Begin a Russian translation of the Guide by Dimitry Mangul.
  • Some spelling corrections in the German Guide.
